Automatic Generation of Position ID 

CGI Advantage HRM provides the ability to automatically generate unique Position IDs for new positions on the Position Maintenance (PSMT) transaction. The AUTO GEN POSN LENGTH parameter on Site Specific Parameters (SPAR) page controls whether the system should allow a Position ID to be automatically generated for a new position.

To invoke the generation of the Position ID ensure the following:

1. Set the AUTO GEN POSN LENGTH parameter on Site Specific Parameters (SPAR) to Yes and enter the desired length of the position ID (as an integer between 1 and 18) in the Numeric Field.

2. On the Position Maintenance transaction, specify the Position Status as a new position and leave the Position Number blank.
